How many Facebook friends do you have?
I realized I have a little more than 200. Most of them are people I met in college. Others are work friends, excoworkers and friends I went to middle and high school with. One of them is a close relative and a few others are cousins.
How many of them do I see on a regular basis? Well, I see my fiancé on a regular basis and the close relative I see every couple of weeks. The work friends I see basically every day.
Some of my Facebook friends I have not spoken to in a long time. Some of them I don’t even like anymore.
You may be asking why I still keep these people as friends? I like to Facebook stalk them.
I think we are all guilty of Facebook stalking. Yeah, you haven’t talked to Joe Schmoe or Mrs. Joe Schmoe in a long long time, but you want to see what he/she is up to.
It’s amazing how many of my Facebook friends have kids. Some have two and others are on their third. This makes me feel quite old!
I’ll just settle for four-legged kids (pets) at this point.
I don’t really use Facebook, but I think I ought to as I now have the urge to find out if any of my old school mates managed to become a millionaire or something. If they did, I can go round their house and ‘borrow’ a few thousand
Nice blog BTW.
heheh…thoughtful article. Facebook is pretty small for me, just close people on it…
